NEW DELHI: The South Delhi Municipal Corporation has singled out three parks to be developed as Jal Shakti Parks, which includes Jahaz Wala Park in Bagdola Village Sector-8, Dwarka, a pond near Gokul Garden Sector-7, and Jonapur talab near Aya Nagar.

The main objective behind the revival and construction of these parks is to increase rainwater collection and enhance the groundwater level. Besides this, the park also entails swings built in gazebo huts and walking tracks. In order to enhance the green shed, trees and plants will also be laned, as per Mayor Mukesh Suryan.

He further stated that the initiative is inspired from Centre’s Jal Shakti Abhiyan and the local body is making all the necessary efforts for water conservation along with rainwater harvesting at these revamped parks. In order to augment water conservation, the civic body has already positioned 20 sewage treatment plants, with a respective capacity of 50 kilo litres of water per day at 16 locations in all four zones.
